Oobleck is such a strange and enchanting substance. It is neither fully a liquid or a full solid. It is both runny and solid at the same time which makes for a very interesting sensory experience, especially for little learners.
EYFS Area Developed:
- Understanding the World; discovering animals and the natural world
- Expressive Arts & Design; engages in imaginative play and builds stories using toys
To make Oobleck:
Combine ½ a cup of cornflour (cornstarch in the US) with 1 cup of water and mix together. You will notice it starts to ‘stick’ at the bottom as you are stirring it. Once combined it is ready!
To make the farm:
- Green Oobleck
- Small amount of blue Oobleck
- Farm animals
- Small pots
- Dried beans, corn & lentils
Coupling Oobleck with small world play provided the perfect activity for a rainy afternoon.
